Run a canasta tournament from a phone
Canasta games run long, so a canasta tournament is usually a round robin or a small bracket over a day, partners against partners or head to head. Score All keeps the draw, the tables and the results, and scores every game with real canasta bonuses.
- Count canastas, red threes and card points; the bonuses add themselves
- Shows each side's minimum first meld for its score
- Partners, two players or three
- Every bonus value can be changed for your table

Round robin standings
In a round robin the table is ordered by wins, then by points difference, and updates as each game finishes.
